Hi. I've felt movement since the 14th week. However, in the last two weeks, she has been moving a lot but she has a pattern. like she moves more in the evenings. there are days where she hardly moves. I wonder if your baby is moving but you are noticing. I think you need to ask your doctor and should never feel hesitant about your baby's health. Best of luck.

Like alot of these ladies, I am 23 weeks as well, and while my baby was an early mover, around 18 weeks, I didn't know that was him moving in there until i began to feel it more rapidly and more pronounced as these weeks went on, and I can say that I had a whole different idea of what it would feel like, (to me it feels like the feeling you get when your eyes twitches!)and it could very well be that your little one is moving in there, and you just don't know or don't feel it as pronounced just yet, especially if you are a small build. My baby like most is most active when I am at rest following activity since this wakes him up. So talk to our doctor if it concerns you but you should be feeling your little one any day now!

i am also 23 weeks with my first. sometimes it's hard to tell if she is moving or not;especially if i'm busy. sometimes i go all day without feeling any movement, but as soon as i start to get really worried she will give me a kick to let me know everything is alright.

I am 23 weeks pregnant and I feel a lot of movement. Everyone is different it depends on, the amount of full term pregnancies and the weight of the mother which enables you to feel your baby moving.
This is my second child and I weigh 130lbs it may be easier for me to feel it.

Hi, I am 23 weeks too, with my 2nd baby. All i know is that with my first i didnt feel much, just little teeny bumps every once in awhile. This time it is getting so bad that he keeps me up day and night. He is always moving, or has hiccups or rolling, sometime its hard to even walk because his movements are so strong that it hurts. But what can I say? I cant complain too much. Hang in there, it will happen.

With my first 21 years ago I did not feel or see her move the entire pregnancy unless I pushed my stomach some to get her to move. Which I did a lot at night to assure myself that she was fine. This time around I have felt him since 12 weeks or so and now at 24 weeks you can see the movement and feel it. I think it all matters on how you are carring the baby and if he/she wants to move a lot or not. Try pushing lightly and then lay there real still and see if you feel like your tummy has bubbles moving around. It is not gas that is the baby moving gas makes noise when it moves around.

I would say that you are fine. Sometimes you don't know what you are supposed to be feeling until someone points it out to you. If you are very worried I would contact your OB for your own peace of mind. I am sure that they would be glad to put you at ease to let you know everything is fine.

I did not feel anything until after 24 weeks with my first. I am pregnant with my second and have been feeling movement since 18 weeks. My doctor told me that it is normal to take a very long time to feel movement with your first. I wouldn't worry about it!
